This folding dining chair is made from courbaril wood and has a locking mechanism which prevents any risk of folding when drawn forward. To fold and store the chair, pull the brass catch and fold in the usual way.<p>Courbaril wood is a South American hardwood from Guyana. It is used extensively for bridge decking and boat building. Strong and durable, it retains a good surface finish after exposure to weather. Initially it has a warm, natural, cinnamon colour which, like other timbers of this type, will weather to an attractive silver grey.<p>John Lewis timber policy: <a href="/jl_assets/pdf/timberpolicy.pdf" title="opens a new window" target="_blank" class="under">Click here for more information</a>
